To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize

Freshman representative Ilhan Omar is under attack from the left and right for simply saying AIPAC controls a lot of politicians. They're calling her remarks anti semitism. AIPAC, like the NRA, is an American based lobbying group. But they lobby for a foreign government instead of special interests of American groups. Republican Minority leader Kevin McCarthy compared her to Republican Representative Steve King, who was removed from committee positions for his racist comments spanning decades.

A congressperson pointing out the powerful influence of a lobbying group is considered anti-semitism because the group is Jewish.

Because she falls under congressional rules. Governors do not. You should wonder why the democrats aren't putting pressure on their governor. They run the state legislature.

And what does that have to do with pressure? She's elected just like he was. They can't force her out of congress just like they can't force him out of the governor's office. I'm talking about the pressure put on here compared to the pressure put on Northam. I bet if he dressed as a Jewish stereotype he wouldn't be in office today.

And the fact that they got her to turn around and apologize within 24 hours proves her point about how powerful the Israel lobby is.

Because "Muslim money" isn't the topic. If you want to discuss that go make a topic and if I feel like talking about it with you I will.

She represents a mostly muslim district. Of course "muslim money" is going o be behind her. Those are her constituents dumb ****

Omar drew condemnation from members of both parties after she tweeted Sunday evening that AIPAC has been paying members of Congress to support Israel. On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on Omar to apologize, saying that "her use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive."

Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said it was "shocking to hear a Member of Congress invoke the anti-Semitic trope of 'Jewish money.'" Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called the comments "deeply disappointing and disturbing."

I never thought in a million years I'd be defending an sideshow freak like Ilhan, but nothing she said was "anti-Semitic".

The AIPAC is openly an organization that financially lobbies in Washington for a Jewish nation-state. They don't attempt to hide this. It's (literally) the business they're in and the goal they publicly advocate.

She (Semitic) made this factual observation to a Jewish woman (also Semitic) and is "under fire for anti-Semitism"?
